For my friends and family,
who make my world more meaningful

The computing world has undergone a remarkable revolution in recent times. During this time, programming languages have changed , too. Its no secret that robust , more efficient , and easy-to-learn object-oriented programming languages such as C++, JavaScript, Java, Golang, Perl etc. have emerged as an alternative to the core and structural languages such as C and FORTRAN.

In spite of being a general-purpose programming language (Python can be applied in web development, mobile, and desktop apps), Python language is simple to learn. Its also a very flexible programming language that has been used to develop some of the coolest e-commerce and web applications. Being an object oriented language , youll also be on your way to learning other languages such as Java, Golang, and Perl if you finish reading this book.

This book is meant to help you , the novice programmers , gain an understanding of Python programming. Whether youre new to Python or even new to programming, youll find this book helpful in fast-tracking your understanding of Python language. The book has been written to enable novice programmers to get started as soon as possible. Written by an experienced computer scientist, Learn Python in A Day and Master It Well is a comprehensive guide for beginners. This book will teach you all the principles and concepts of Python programming through in a simple and succinct language.

Youll acquire Python programming skills that are necessary for the practical development of applications in real-world scenarios. Throughout the chapters, youll find Python code samples that illustrate the concepts of Python programming. At the end of each chapter, youll find exercises that test and challenge your understanding of Python. The solutions to these exercises have been provided at the end of the chapter , fast-tracking your knowledge and understanding of Python language.

By the time you finish reading this book, youll be a professional Python programmer with in-depth knowledge and experience of creating your own Python software. It is my hope that youll enjoy the book. Good luck!

The odds are, if youve bought this book, then youre a newbie to Python. Or, you could be new to programming altogether. In either case, youve made the right decision by choosing Python programming language.

In the last couple of decades, the programming environment has witnessed a momentous growth in the number of languages. Weve seen how core programming languages such as C, FORTRAN, and COBOL evolved in 1960s and 1970s to address programmers challenges. But in recent times, weve also seen how object-oriented programming languages such as C++, JavaScript, Java , and even Golang have emerged as an alternative to core programming languages. In all these developments, the Python language has stood out distinctively from the rest.

Why Python?

Well, Python language is a fully-functional programming language. This means that the language can perform almost anything that any programming language can do in a cost effective and efficient manner. Python language is capable of threading and GPU , graphical processing , just like any other programming language such as Java, C++, and Golang. In fact, most of the processing is handled in modules that are already pre-written that just need importation for use .

Therefore, if youre a newbie to Python , or even new to programming, youll find these modules helpful in developing programs within the shortest time possible. If youre good in C++, youll find programming in Python to be simple . This is because the Python code can be wrapped around C++ codes for seamless interaction. By using C++ codes, youll be in a position to use various tools of C++ without having to understand the language.

But thats not all.

Python language is beginner-friendly, yet very powerful. In fact, the syntax , rules defining the structure of statements , is extremely simple to understand and follow. You dont need any experience in programming to begin coding in Python! Because of its powerful nature, Python has been used to develop some of the most popular applications such as Google, Pinterest, Mozilla, SurveyMonkey, SlideShare, YouTube, and Reddit.

Its also used to develop games, perform data analysis, control the robot and hardware , and create GUIs. This means that there are several career options that demand Python language. Thus, learning Python can be the greatest asset to land that dream job! You may also boost your career with new Python programming skills.

This book will provide you with all the vital programming concepts and skills that are necessary for you learn Python. It will walk you through the comprehensive step-by-step instructions that are necessary for you to create your own software. Without further ado, lets jump in and learn Python!
